Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1662502A2] In order to suppress a tray (10) from rolling and to prevent the tray from warping so as to reduce the thickness of a disk drive, the tray (10) is provided on the lower face thereof a substantially L-shaped first cam groove (12) formed on the opposite side to the rack (11) side, and a curved second cam groove (13) formed at a rear end portion of the tray in the neighborhood of the rack; and a rack loading (14) is provided with a first cam rod boss (14a) protruding therefrom and slidably engaging with the first cam groove (12), and a second cam rod boss (14b) protruding therefrom and slidably engaging with the second cam groove (13); so that the entire tray (10) can be well balanced and the mechanical strength can be made uniform in the disk drive.
